Based in North Wales, landscape photography forms a very important part of my life and capturing the ever changing scenery gives me a sense of discovery. For me, photography in the mountains or on the coast, experiencing changing light and weather conditions, is a continuous learning process and gives me the freedom to think and live.

I’m not into the whole Canon versus Nikon versus Sony argument. I leave that to others more suitably qualified. The Olympus OM-D E-M1 is a great camera, it suits me and my needs and I've no intention of changing it in the near future.

Oh! and another thing. I use a PC not a MAC, sorry if I’m disappointing you here, but a good fast PC will do the job just as well as a MAC and it's a lot cheaper too.

I’m a firm believer in using software like Photoshop and PhotoMatix to create HDR images. Right from the start I learned how to shoot in manual, TV, AV, you know all those fun modes. Why let a machine make the decisions, that’s how SKYNET started and we all know how that ended.
